The victims were chosen at random by the alleged attackers. These alleged murderers literally went to the neighborhood, saw Cates house and for some reason, chose to attack whoever was in that house.
According to this 7News story, Spader (the accused killer), looked uncomfortable and sometimes bored with the events as he viewed the same photos the jury did, including a car and the evidence found inside it, and the bloody bedroom where the mother and daughter were brutalized.It really pisses me off that this kid can sit there and not show any remorse at what he did. Especially, since a doctor from Children’s Hospital testified, saying "he had never seen young girl with as many injuries as Jaime had when she was hospitalized last year." I mean, does the kid not have any heart or sense of feelings?!
I give this father 110% credit for being able to take the stand and face the person who killed his wife and nearly killed his daughter without jumping over and killing the kid himself.
I just really hope that for the sake of the little girl who survived this attack, her father and in respect for the Mother who sadly did not survive the attack, this kid gets either sentenced to life with NO parole or the death penalty.
I am curious, what do you guys think about this case? Do you agree with the death penalty? Do you think this kid is innocent? Is there (as the defense attorney's questioned) any chance the father had something to do with it?
Let me know your thoughts.
Dude this is just sick. It's amazing how sick and twited some people can be. I think that this kid definitely deserves the most severe punishment, if it's the death penalty or life in prison. I think the death penalty may be appropriate.. and I'm not all for the death penalty. This is just sickening.
ReplyDeleteThat's horrible! From what you said about the attacker, I'm curious if he has had any sort of phsycological evaluations. Could he possibly plead insanity?? I mean he has to be extremly messed up to do something like that.
ReplyDeleteYeah...He was definitely messed in the head. I'm not sure if he has had any psychological evaluations. But, either way, I still he did what he did and IS guilty. Therefore, he needs to suffer the consequences.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the sickest things I have ever heard. I really don't understand how someone can think of these things. Who wakes up in the morning, grabs a machete and picks a random mother and daughter to mutilate? The part that got to me the most was "And then there was a stolen iPod, which investigators said 18-year-old Spader used to find the victims in the darkness" . . that is so messed up! Imagine someone taking your iPod and using it to hunt you down as you try and hide in your own home just to try and stay alive? I'll never understand the way some people's brains work.
